Tool cabinets – Intro to design

As you can tell by the multiple posts and the title here, this is going to be a lengthy series.

The first thing I’ve done is actually grab all of my hand tools I currently have and lay them out to see what I’ve got.

The simple answer is, not a lot. I’m going to be adding another, larger square, a marking knife, and a spokeshave at the very least. This also just incorporates tools in the main section, so no chisels, etc. Although, I’m wondering just what I want to put in the main body, if I’d rather have the chisels there and have a wider cabinet. I suppose I digress. I’m still undecided, but you can see where the process is heading from the picture.
